Anyone else having issues with the auto conquer not conquering territories according to the upgraded level?
Currently at 45%
In current game I’m at 1 million+ armies and it’s not auto conquering 72k territories.
Tried disabling and enabling. Tried rebooting device. Nothings working.

Additionally, in challenge levels it is capturing based on a 5% auto conquer rate.

Just wondering if it’s a little glitch or if multiple people are having the issue.

Same ... I have 279k armies, and it won't capture a 35k territory, despite having AC @ 20% = 55k.

Yeah seems to have defaulted to the 5% base rate for both challenge and regular levels

Is there anyway to tag fizzier about this? Still not capturing at my upgraded rate and it’s kind of annoying to have spent 1000+ ap on auto conquer and have it just capture at the base 5% rate.

Just maxed auto conquer (attack when bordering territories are 50% of armies or less) and did some math, it appears to be conquering on a 5-6.6% rate. It was also doing this while the auto conquer was at 45%.

I don’t remember it doing it at 40% so if you are at 40%, don’t bother going higher until this is addressed.

Same, still occurring for me. Now at >800M armies, but AC @ 20% not capturing territories of <=20M, while the threshold should be ~160M.

On a side note, it would be nice if it gave priority to Joint Strike captures.

Btw, is anyone else having this issue? So far just 2 of us responding on this thread.

Auto-conquer now considers empty territories differently from non-empty ones. If the territory has an asset (mine, cache, army camp, etc.) it will work exactly as described. However, if it's empty, it requires more armies before it will conquer it.

Sorry for not explaining this -- I will modify the text in the next update so it's clearer.

This is a good thing, as it means it'll prioritize things that help instead of conquering a bunch of useless territories.

I understand the idea behind this. However, from my latest experience in challenge levels a player can easily found himself/herself sort of boxed in by empty territories that require a huge number of armies to capture. Choke points could be a much bigger problem. In those challenges I played it almost always seemed that whichever player broke out of the box first won regardless of their real strength. It's just a very subjective observation though.

This optimization makes sense for regular WZI, but as SubLunar points out, may not make sense for Challenge Levels.

@SubLunar, do you find challenge levels are worth completing? More specifically, that the AP you put in < AP you get out? I put in >100AP to complete level 1 to get only 100 AP, and can't clear level 2 without spending a bunch more AP.

crazy wild idea, but what if we could modify the multiplier for emty territories ourself?

you can set the value ranging from 1 to 10, and it will multiply the empty territories stack by that value, and use that new value for the calculations.

that way users can manipulate the auto counquer themselves

this would fit with the micro managment that Idle needs to go fast, and casual players that dont want to micro manage anything, can use Fizzers default value

on a side note, what is Fizzers default value?

@krinid

AP wise generally? Absolutely not. I take them simply as other levels that are available for one to play. Although "thanks" to what I described in my previous post I was able to win I think about 20 levels just by purchasing the basic 5% of auto-upgrade army camps.

Also, if it has a bonus and is captured at your actual rate, what is the rate that the “useless” territories are captured? And isn’t that kind of dumb? As how do you find bonus territories without taking “useless” territories?

@Gussuk25

Good point. This whole issue is the repercussion of putting more armies on non-empty territories as a mean to remove dullness from endgames. While it was a good idea I think it caused more problems than it actually solved.

Yeah after watching it in action all day... terrible decision.

If I wanted to have to capture all these territories myself I wouldn’t of maxed the auto conquer ap advancement... worst part is I’ll be gone for like 4 hrs and come back to making the same gold income as when I left. Then I’ll manually capture the 15 territories it hasn’t, and my gold income will double.

@Fizzer, if that is a permanent change can you refund me all the ap spent on upgrading the auto conquer? I’ll just leave it at 5% and use the ap for the auto army camp upgrade or something useful

@Gussuk, ye ask, ye receive ... https://www.warzone.com/blog/index.php/2020/09/update-5-04-2/

– Idle: Auto-conquer was returned to its old behavior of treating empty territories the same as non-empty ones.

Tried challenge levels as well and no luck

@krinid
Don’t think this one made it through.. restarted level and tried with challenge levels.. still capturing at a <10% rate

Same for me.

I managed to clear the 1st two a while back by buying 20% AC but I guess need to raise that % or buy auto-army upgrades or something other "auto" ability that doesn't really help in the standard game (or minimally isn't the best use of available AP compared to other upgrades) in order to beat the Floating Rocks. But as I said before, those upgrades cost more than the 100 AP beating each level brings, so if further upgrades are required for each level, it's an AP draining exercise, so not bothering.

Credit where credit is due.

Thanks Fizzer! Appears issue has been fixed. Nice to see AC completing territory bonuses...
